Providing high quality patient care is my professional focus, and I am proud to be a part of Nevada Orthopedics to achieve this goal.

My interest in orthopedics, and specifically sports medicine, stems from my own experiences on the playing field. I have always enjoyed the concept of teamwork, and I have seen my role on the team evolve from an athlete myself to a physician on the sidelines.

After graduating from Princeton University, I moved on to medical school and an orthopedic surgery residency at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Then, I traveled to Sydney, Australia for specialty training in shoulder reconstruction followed by a sports medicine fellowship at the Lake Tahoe Orthopedic Institute. Finally, I decided to call the Reno/Tahoe area home.

I have been practicing in Reno since 2006. Although I do some fracture care and general orthopedics, I have focused my practice on shoulder reconstruction, including both arthroplasty and arthroscopy. I work closely with the University of Nevada, Reno student-athletes as an orthopedic consultant and have affiliations with all four local hospitals.

I continue to enjoy the outdoor activities that the area offers, and the views of the Sierras from the ski slopes and hiking trails always remind me of why I decided to move to this part of the country. My patients and colleagues in the medical profession here in Reno are the reasons why I have stayed.
